Abstract:

ABSTRACT   The term of ‘intestinal-renal syndrome’ was proposed by Ritz in 13th International Conference on Dialysis, Advances in CKD 2011. However, Ritz didn’t give a definition of ‘intestinal-renal syndrome’ and he was uncertain about its reality. To characterize the ‘intestinal-renal syndrome’, this paper summarized the relationship between gut and kidney in normal and disease status, and briefly reviewed what is currently known about its treatment options.

Key words: intestinal-renal syndrome  , end stage renal disease  , microbiome
